Chapter 49 Gifts

Qiao Yun's praise of the mutton was indeed sincere, and she couldn't think of anything else to praise.

"Then why don't you stay here for a few more days!" Meng Shaoqing was very worried about the fact that Qiao Yun only stayed at the county magistrate's house for three days before leaving.

Mrs. Lu glanced at her lovingly: "Isn't she busy with her own affairs? She just hangs around you all day long?"

"Well." Meng Shaoqing pouted unhappily.

Qiao Yun smiled and said, "You can come and play with me in the future."

Meng Shaoqing's eyes suddenly lit up. Wouldn't it be better for her to go back to her house with Qiao Yun on the second day of the Lunar New Year?

With just one look, Madam Lu knew what was going on in her heart and said, "Qingqing, don't forget that we still have to go out on the third day of the lunar new year."

Meng Shaoqing's little head suddenly drooped again, completely wilting.

"Are you going out in this weather?" Qiao Yun was puzzled.

Speaking of this, Mr. Lu actually sighed. Feeling the heat on your face in front of the steaming hot pot while listening to the snow falling outside the window was originally a pleasant and elegant thing, but when you think about it these days

After all the hard work and effort, Lu's mood could not get better no matter how hard she worked.

"The fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the wife of the governor of Jiangzhou. I don't want to go, but Quwo County is less than a hundred miles away from Jiangzhou. The governor of Jiangzhou also knows that Lang Jun returned to Chang'an without his wife, so he handed in the post

I'm here. If I don't go, won't I make it difficult for Lang Jun in front of the governor in the future? I've been having a headache over this matter these days."

I see.

Qiao Yun showed a very understanding look.

She understands socializing.

In his previous life, my father often had many unavoidable social events. This was just in the shopping mall. In ancient times, such complex officialdom systems only had many more such social events.

"Then why does Madam have a headache? If there is someone you don't want to see, just stay away from her at the table."

"I don't have anyone I'm against yet." Lu's temples started to beat when she thought of this. She put another chopstick of lamb ribs on Yunmo's plate and sighed: "Quwo County is a small county after all.

, it is so close to Jiangzhou Prefecture, and there are many prefectures and cities here, so I was worried about what gift to send."

Qiao Yun obediently ate the lamb ribs and then said: "So that's why! Since you are the wife of the Governor's Mansion for a long time, why not prepare some rich ornaments to cope with it?"

"You don't know something." Mrs. Lu sighed, "If this is the case, I won't have a headache. The governor's wife's surname is Xue. You are a smart and knowledgeable child. Needless to say, you know what your background is. I am

She has emptied her family's wealth, and the things she brings out are not of interest to others. Besides, I won't flatter her, so what are I going to do with that money?"

It seemed that Mrs. Lu really didn't like this social interaction. She even used flattering words, which were very unpolished in the eyes of literati, on Mrs. Xue.

Qiao Yun thought something was wrong. She glanced at Mrs. Lu doubtfully and inquired: "Madam, you said your surname is Lu, then you are..."

"You are so smart!" Mrs. Lu was so happy that she couldn't help but give her another mutton meatball.

"Isn't that right? You are a girl with the fifth surname. How can the Xue family in Hedong look good in front of the seven families with the fifth surname? If we talk about the families in Guanlong, only the Pei family can compare with the seven families with the fifth surname."

Mrs. Lu looked at Qiao Yun in surprise, never expecting that such a little girl could be so clear-eyed about the status of aristocratic families like Xuantang.

She is indeed the queen of the fallen nobles!

But the surname Qiao is not a popular surname either?

While Lu was confused in her heart, she explained to Qiao Yun: "Although she is not the most conspicuous member of the Xue family, she is at least a legitimate daughter. I am not from that family either, and I am still a concubine, which is different from a legitimate concubine.

, the specifications of the dowry when getting married are also different."

Speaking of her origin, Mrs. Lu did not hide it at all, openly admitting that she was a concubine, and even Meng Shaoqing who was standing by her did not feel any embarrassment about her status.

Qiao Yun was deeply surprised.

In many literary works she has read, those women are all very sensitive to concubines. From the love story in Dream of Red Mansions, to the queen in a well-known palace drama, to the vicious female supporting characters in various online articles, they are all

In this way, it seems that there is a huge difference between the concubine and the concubine.

Only the Feng girl in Dream of Red Mansions dares to say that when getting married, those who only want to give birth to a direct child and not a concubine are unnatural and frivolous people.

"I see! So this birthday gift has to be something new and clever?"

"Exactly. But it's just this clever wording that makes me so embarrassed! Alas!"

Meng Shaoqing rarely saw his mother-in-law looking so worried.

Normally, A-Niang always looks confident in front of her, as if everything can be settled for her. If she is wronged, A-Niang can comfort her with a smile and give her many enlightening ideas.

reason.

Now seeing how troubled her grandma is, she really wants to share it with her.

So, she plucked up the courage and cautiously suggested: "Then, why not give me some exquisite embroidery? Something like a kang screen, which can highlight the exquisite embroidery."

"Silly boy, this only takes two or three days. All the embroidery workshops in the county are closed. Where can we get exquisite embroidery? It seems that our embroidery workers can be given away to others?" Mrs. Lu looked at her fondly.

He glanced at her and was deeply pleased that his daughter finally stopped eating and playing stupidly and started using her brain.

Qiao Yun had just picked up a piece of meatball for Yun Xuemei. When she heard this, her chopsticks suddenly stopped.

She said she seemed to have forgotten something!

She still hasn’t given away a fan!

It was agreed that this fan was a meeting gift for Mrs. Lu, but when introducing the gift to Mrs. Lu at noon, Meng Shaoqing interrupted her when she mentioned the facial ointment, and was pulled back to the room to rest by this girl.

As a result, she actually forgot about the fan.

Wait...it seemed that those gifts were left in the main room when she returned to the room. She didn't seem to take the fan back to the room. Could it be that Mrs. Lu's maid took it back with other items?

Thinking of this, Qiao Yun hurriedly said: "Madam, there was actually another gift that I didn't have time to tell you about just now."

Mrs. Lu was shocked. She originally thought that two large boxes of snacks and several boxes of peach blossom cream were enough, but she didn't expect that there were more. She quickly asked: "What is it?"

"It's a fan. Well...I embroidered it myself." Qiao Yun was a little embarrassed, her cheeks turned red, "I learned Sichuan embroidery, which is different from what the embroidery girls here are good at."

This fan was clearly produced by a game, so Qiao Yun felt that she was a bit thin-skinned to take it for herself so shamelessly.

It doesn't matter, once it's easy, it will become familiar again, and she feels that after practicing a few more times, she will be confident.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yunmao then recommended herself: "I was thinking, Shu embroidery is a specialty in Yizhou, and Chengdu is thousands of miles away from us. I guess it is not common for Mrs. Xue to come here. I wonder if it can be a coincidence?

"

Lu thought for a moment and said, "That's good."

Although she had never seen Qiao Yun's embroidery skills, she planned to believe in this child.

Although she didn't fully understand Yun Yatou's temperament, at least she would never take pleasure in such matters.

"But I don't have any good materials to make the fan handle, so I use ordinary Polygonatum odorifera."

"It's a small matter. Just change it. There are some good materials in the warehouse. It won't take long to change the fan handle."

After finishing an urgent matter, a stone in Mrs. Lu's heart finally fell to the ground, and her eyebrows suddenly relaxed.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became harmonious again. At this time, a little maid opened the curtain and came in again. She came to the table and said respectfully: "Madam, Mr. Sanlang has just finished his meal over there and has come to say hello to Madam."
